Origin Access Premier is Now Live on PC

Electronic Arts’ premium version of Origin Access, which was announced at E3 2018, is available now on PC. Origin Access Premier retails for $15 per month and $100 per year, compared to the $5 per month and $30 per year subscription of Origin Access “Basic”.

Origin Access has offered a number of benefits to subscribers till now. Along with discounts on digital content available in the Origin Store, it also provided early access trials to new games five days before they launched worldwide. Subscribers also have access to the Vault, which contains over 100 games from EA and other studios, available for unlimited play (as long as you’re subscribed, that is).

Origin Access Premier has all of this, but also provides early, unlimited access to new games like Anthem, Madden NFL 19, FIFA 19, and Battlefield 5 Deluxe before they launch. You’re essentially playing these games early and having full access to them while a subscription is active, not unlike Xbox Game Pass (which has all Xbox One exclusives available from launch day).
